Woke up to the sound of rain when the alarm went off, so I turned it off and rolled over, no way I was going to mess with that! Fortunately, it was all gone an hour later, just cloudy, so I got up and finished packing. I was afraid that with all the rain we might have trouble getting off the grass out to the gravel driveway, but there was no problems, yay! By the time we finished at the RV dump on the other side of the park at the campground, it was just about noon, but since the trip is less than three hours, we had plenty of time. It was an uneventful drive, thank goodness, and we arrived at Tri-County around 4:00. We were worried about whether we would get stuck again, but fortunately it hadn’t rained as much here, and we were able to back in easily to the same spot we were in last time. Unbeknownst to me, while I was getting the horses up on the highline provided (I decided to do that rather than get my own highline out), Lola jumped out the passenger side window (which I’ve never seen her do before, but I guess she just had to pee!), and then went on a quick walkabout to see if there was anyone in camp who would play with her while I was working on getting us set up. Well, it wasn’t long before I realized she was gone, so I called her, and she came running back, as she always does, she’s such an obedient girl! But that didn’t stop the complaints. Two women from different parts of the campground made a beeline for me and complained to me that all dogs needed to be on a leash. I apologized and explained that as a therapy dog, it’s her compulsion to go greet people, and she had slipped away without my knowing (she still had her therapy vest on from when we stopped for lunch at Denny’s, where she sat quietly under a table like she always does, making lots of people smile as they came in and saw her, again, that’s her job.) Nothing like a warm welcome, huh? Well, after getting all my chores done, I got out the loungers and we sat under the awning (too short a stay to bother with the screen room) and played fetch the frisbee with Lola for a while. Shockingly, when I went to do cleanup of the horses’ section of the trailer at dinnertime, I discovered the manure spreader is still so full there’s almost no place to add more, so I had a heck of a time dumping my utility cart. Anyway, we finally settled down for the evening, to clearing skies and a promising forecast.
